I would risk my ass to say that the series was fucking awesome until they rescued rukia, and pretty good until the final ichigo v/s grimmjow fight, then it came to be that every single capitain that ichigo had almost beaten with bankai only, could beat the shit out of every arrancar that ichigo could barely touch even if he was using the mask. An then more crap, ichigo became a pussy and the story just fucked off

Wow im suprised by all these comments, this and one piece are the best ongoing animes…same cant be said from naruto, it literally turns into shit with that many uninteresting fillers, atleast bleach added some proper fillers…but everything has to come to an end sadly, one piece i believe it will last for atleast 2 years more, but not sure about after that, would be nice if they resumed hitman reborn or something, cant see a light here after this is finished, fairy tail its not that great tbh..all thats left its w8 and see i guess.

Bleach should have ended after Ichigo beat Aizen and lost his powers. I read a few issues of that Fullbring nonsense, and I just thought “this is just getting silly”.

And yes, we really could’ve done without the filler arcs. Combining where Ichigo says goodbye to Rukia with the end of one of these arcs into one episode is something I will always be pissed off about.

I read on kubo’s twitter page a good while back that the anime is going to continue, but there going to let the manga get ahead to a point so when they do continue the anime they can do the entire 1000 blood war arc with out any fillers.

Well I sure hope he fell asleep watching a InuYasha Moive with his sisters then Ichigo appears inside of the Inuyasha world and slays Naraku and marries Sango before any one else can. Ichigo and Sango ment to be together since the start.

One piece still popular wanna prove
Still has cosplay about the new character…Boa, Nami, and Robin is still favorite then how about bleach nothing in the previous comiket
The action figure industry still produce action figure for one piece and the new character of them then how about bleach is nothing too only has old item
Kubo just win the gamble the story of bleach is suck and worse after vol.17 when they get back to earth

I use to enjoy watching Bleach (casually, on Adult Swim), but then I noticed how every time I watched it, there were new characters who i had no idea what their story was and the plots were hard to follow because of that. I enjoyed the fighting and art but I couldn’t make any sense of it after a while.

I fully expect the ending to be a non-ending. The Manga is still going for at least some time, so they’ll keep the anime’s ending open for future movies/revival seasons. Of course, I dropped Bleach years ago, so I don’t really care. 😉

Considering how often they IRRESPONSIBLY continued the show beyond the manga story and how fucking DISGUSTING the filler archs were, it’s honestly taken WAY too long even to shut this fucking anime down.

Should have done the same thing with Naruto and it’s worthless fucking scooby-dooby-doo filler.

So what were the last episode #’s when Ichigo finally defeated Aizen? I used to watch it, and would like to someday finish the series, though only to the end of the Aizen Arc. {I hate fillers}

Normally I would take breaks from epically long anime to get 50~80+ episodes saved up to watch back-to-back, but somewhere along that wait I just forgot about Bleach. Last I recall watching was when Ichigo fought and defeated Ripjaw finally to save Inoue.

Any info on what that last episode was and then the final with Aizen would be great so I can watch that bit and be done with it. {And yeah I would have been happy to see bleach end after the Soul Society Arc…that was awesome!}

Sadly, it still does.
About 6 months ago I saw someone on youtube saying bleach was the 2nd best anime (followed by them saying Naruto was #1). Gave em a few reasons why they arent and even said how it isn’t that popular in places like japan for a reason. They followed by saying “so I guess 900 episodes between the both of them means its not popular huh?” implying the number of episodes means good and not milked. So those fans are still out there and dumber then ever, cannot reason with em.

The first story arc of bleach was good, even thou it still could have and should have been done in half the episodes. Seriously, EVA is only about 30 episodes and is not so drawn out with “My sword is bigger than yours”.

With every opponent spending 40 minutes talking about what a bad-ass they are, then spend 5 minutes kicking ass then 10 minutes getting their dicks cut off or being killed, Bleach needed to die years ago.

On that note, it probably will come back to animate the final episodes. If Inuyasha could take seemingly eons in terms of a ‘break’ and come back, Bleach probably can too. I just think the anime crew pooped out of ideas to throw at the filler (shockingly, some of the filler arcs were actually better than the manga at times).

I can’t blame anyone for saying the show/manga is pretty bad, but I enjoyed some parts of it.

I think the manga creator has a knack for drama and maybe he’d do better putting in more well thought out drama instead of just powering up his characters each new chapter mindlessly.

You are soooo right Eleriel and that
Bount arc was the worst of them all. The ideas may have had better impact on the fans if they ask author for some of his opinions on the fillers…kind of like a filler with some canon-like elements to make viewers say “Wooah, didn’t see that coming.”

shōnen (in general!!) is meant to appeal to “casualfags”
I watched bleach till Gotei 13 Invading Army
and still appealed to it. So now Im a “casualfag” ?
I did stop it, because i hate ongoing shit.
I do not like fillers indeed, however as long as they FKING FIGHT i DO NOT care ?!

i think i worhsip anime more than you and have watched more than you, im pretty much oldschool

and seriously? dumbfags like are even worse.
if you come to hate an anime because of fillers, its just that you lack passion.

if u’d want to have story, read manga!
if u want epic clashes/action/tears watch anime
(does not mean that one does not cry when reading manga! but anime supports your feelings (background music + shivering voices & stuff)-> more senses get stimulated)

One Piece? Haven’t they found the One Piece yet? Such terrible artwork as well, the background are the only good thing and thats because of his assistants…

I enjoy coming here and looking at the comments because if any of you experienced what its like to animate or create a manga/comic of decent quality and the amount of stress it puts on you… Its funny Bakuman did a little story arc about twats like you XD

The series was far more interesting in the beginning and mid when it still had a good balance of action and slice-of-life to it. It was good because it still had some humor and focused on some of the other characters and you learned of their past.

When it mainly began focusing on Aizen and Ichigo endlessly powering up and introducing and just as quickly discarding new characters (thus you get no real attachment to them), the show got real boring real fast.

So many missed opportunies. Tite could of stretched out the series and made it more interesting by focusing on any of the other NUMEROUS characters like the other Shinigami’s past or Ichigo’s circle of friends but didn’t and instead focused all the story on his main character all in a short period of time and maxed him out. In essence he burned out the candle at both ends himself…

Soul Society should of been the main story, i remember how excited i was when they first got there. After saving Rukia it just dropped off completely, the same with the Bankai of the other Shinigamis.

Aizens troops should of put up a much better fight, even invaded soul society to ultimately end with their defeat but after much struggle and loss. yes a few people needed to die to make bleach valid, but no they wanted to have ichigo run around like a fool being chased by girls and yelling like an idiot at everything.

You don´t have to be a OP lover to see that Bleach has gone down the toilet after the SS arc. Man, that Fullbring shit is just embarrasing, I really can´t understand why there are still so much people who love it. Must be masochists…

Why should it end? OP is still incredibly popular and that after over 14 years now! Actually it’s popularity is still growing day by day, seen the sales of the manga? Why should it end? Just because some frustrated hater like you says so? *lol* Laughable!

actually among the 3 jump giants naruto, bleach and one piece, one piece has the most ineteresting story, art (im not saying art is good but its nice to see ugly characters unlike in other anime where every character is good looking) and development.

though its kind of obvious what the ending will be: luffy becoming pirate king, oda made sure that the journey getting there was a damn good mystery.

and it only has around 20-30 filler eps ever which were all interesting.

i liked bleach maybe until the arrancar arc. grimjow was so cool. but shit just repeated itself and i got sick of it. they just talked for 10+ mins all the time explaining their power. no thanks.

naruto was good. especially when akatsuki was still with “functional” members namely itachi.

however, the fillers are so horrible and long. and during battlescenes (pain vs naruto) the art went down a notch. just not worth it eating 30 filler episodes for a shitty battlescene that you were waiting for.

ending: naruto vs sasuke then they get a near draw and they team up against tobi then defeat him but orochimaru was still alive and possess sasuke then naruto beat orochimaru out of sasuke. chezus christ

I like bleach because I am not one of the popular cool kids who can only like obscure non mainstream titles who’s forced to hate all the popular anime because its cool to hate popular anime..

that said I hate to see bleach end one of the few anime that was diverse (there is usually Zero diversity in japanese anime) and had a varying range of interesting characters comedy action good story ect ect all that. fillers were annoying yeah but I don’t have the attention span of a fruit fly and nothing else to do with my life so I can deal with it and some were decent. I stopped reading the manga so I could be surprised, I hope to find out who the king of soul society was before they end it.

That the only negative thing you say about OP is the quality of the drawings speaks for itself. I know countless people who did not want to watch or read OP because the didn´t like the style but got hooked after actually watching a few episodes. I grew to love Odas drawing style and today I can´t imagine OP in any other style. It’s unique and fits the mood perfectly.

I really liked Bleach as well but it got worse and worse until it was complete trash! I really can´t believe that there are so many people who can overlook the terrible writing of Kubo!

3. bleach is diverse (oh please when ichigo first showed his bankai i was like, wait wut, thats it he just becomes faster? he didnt even learn any new moves asides from that stupid getsuga tenshou crap for a looooong time.)

4. nobody likes a winner (you consider bleach to be a winner and you just said so that you liked it moron)

5. there is usually zero diversity in japanese anime lolwut?

you sound like you were a popular bully back in highschool and everybody hated on you coz you suck and thought everything you said was “right”. guess what, after 2+ decades it seems that you are still that same old hated bully but this time youre not popular anymore thats why you keep blurting out that shit logic about popularity and haters

Bleach WAS good. It just became super shallow and painfully obvious that it was being artifically extended.

Instead of ending gracefully or restarting itself properly (Tite had an opportunity to do this right after the time skip, but nooooooo he gives Ichigo all his powers back almost right away…) it became a drawn out mess; a shadow of it’s former self.

Diverse? Are you kidding? It was a stock shonen series from it’s first rescue (unofficial)tournament arc; the Soul Society arc. Then it did a filler arc, then another rescue (unofficial)tournament arc, then another filler arc… see the pattern yet?

The characters were completely stock as well. Any originality was ground away over time.

The only bit that was interesting and semi-original was the beginning. As for world building… he blew that. Completely. And here’s a simply way to show it: Why are dead people worried or concerned about being killed? Eaten, I could understand. But killed/dying? THEY’RE ALREADY DEAD!

Honestly, after watching stuff like code geass, angel beats,blah blah blah, I caant watch naruto, or bleach, or any other “mainstream” stuff. They always have excessive filler, and the plot grows more and more convulted until its mercifully shot in the head.

First, I don’t “hate” it because it’s popular. I dislike it because it’s nothing more than a standard fighting series. That’s MY evaluation of the series based on having watched/read it up through the beginning of the Arrancar Arc. I stopped because at that point it was blatantly obvious that it was doing what every other shonen fighting series does: become nothing more than a series of fights against more and more powerful enemies; and that those fights would be dragged on and on, by either “Pulling a new move from my butt” techniques, or by switching between characters every few pages. It’s main character is a typical shonen fighting hero: Appears to be 16, but developmentally is about 10-12; he’s “noticed” girls, but would rather get into a ‘cool’ fight than date one.

It’s an “entry level” anime at best and is best enjoyed by it’s target audience: pre-teen and early teen boys (10-15 years old). It COULD have been more, but it never realized that potential.

Oh, and you fail logic forever. But you do pass Insane Troll Logic 101.

@Tere
If you do not understand how fighting in stories like bleach naruto and black rock shooter, isn’t really about the fighting or only about that but about *Using* fighting to tell a bigger more significant inward story about the human condition and relationships ect. then I can understand you being the type to have been educated by the ‘internets’ having to resort to web slang like fail and troll logic. you are simply not intelligent enough to see the significance of the back story and only whine and complain about constant fighting completely missing the entire point of the story.

Go back to middle school and learn about literary devices and concepts learn about symbolism metaphors tone hyperbole historical elements subliminal messaging representationalism…

right and everything popular always has is negative haters like twilight. its the nature of simple minded people to hate something simply because its popular and you becoming popular for hating it also.

popular doesnt mean good. bleach is popular, but it is also popular to hate bleach because its popular. and as you said popular doesn’t mean good meaning if you say that then you are also saying it doesn’t mean it a good thing to hate bleach either thus proving bleach could be good for the simple fact it has so many haters..
